The Canadian Science Policy Centre is pleased to continue its legacy, enabling the next generation’s scientists and policymakers to positively impact the Canadian science policy landscape. The 4th Annual Youth Science Policy Award of Excellence competition is now open. If you have a creative idea for a policy or program that you would like to share with those who can make it happen, sharpen your evidence and put together an application by Friday, August 24th. Applicants must be under the age of 35 at the time of submission and living in Canada.
